CIOs not taking a shine to Chrome
October 1, 2008 By Julian Goldsmith (CNET)
Despite the hype, it seems few IT teams are testing Google's recently launched Web browser Chrome--yet.
In Silicon.com's latest exclusive CIO Jury poll, the respondents revealed that they were still steering clear of the application, with 10 out of 12 saying their IT teams are not testing it.
Many in the "no" camp attributed their lack of Chrome testing to their IT infrastructures being set up to run with Internet Explorer as the default browser.

Why Google won't focus on business software
September 25, 2008 By Sridhar Vembu (GCN)
The biggest competitor my company, AdventNet, faces as an online applications vendor is Google. Even as we compete with Google, we are also part of its ecosystem in a variety of initiatives... 
We are often asked why we compete with Google. It is better to ask why Google is interested in the business software market. Let me explain with a spreadsheet...

Browsers won't replace operating systems
September 24, 2008 By Joab Jackson (GCN)
When Google released its browser earlier this month, the IT pundits rushed to call it a potential replacement of the operating system.
So we're glad that Ojan Vafai, a software engineer for the Google Chrome browser, did his best to set the record straight at a session on the future of browsers at the O'Reilly Web 2.0 Expo in New York last week.
"It's not even clear what it means to replace the operating system with the browser. It's [an] apples and oranges [scenario] frankly, to compare an operating system [with] a Web browser," Vafai said, responding to a question of whether browsers would one day replace operating systems.

How big the Google open source credibility gap
September 23, 2008 By Dana Blankenhorn (ZDNet Blogs)
I conducted some interesting experiments here last week.
I asked which company is the open source champion? Only 12% of you picked Google. (Canonical, which sponsors Ubuntu, was the winner with 29%.)
I also asked whether y’all thought Google was evil. Some 40% of you said yes. Not a majority, but enough to make you Canadian prime minister.

The global antitrust arsenal
September 22, 2008 By Sonia Arrison (TechNewsWorld)
Earlier this week, European regulators said that they are investigating the online advertising deal between Google and Yahoo, even though that deal affects only the U.S. and Canadian markets. Such a revelation is a disturbing sign of the globalization of government meddling and the out-of-control use of antitrust as a weapon.

The Omnigoogle
September 10, 2008 By Nicholas Carr (Blog)
“Some say Google is God,” Sergey Brin once said. “Others say Google is Satan.”
The confusion about Google’s identity may not be quite that Manichean, but it does run deep. The company, which today celebrates the tenth anniversary of its incorporation, remains an enigma despite the Everest-sized pile of press coverage that has been mounded around it. People can’t even agree what industry it’s in.

Microsoft's response to Google Chrome? SharePoint
September 10, 2008 By Matt Asay (CNET Blogs)
It's surprising how many people are still asleep at the wheel while Microsoft continues to nurture perhaps its fastest-growing product (in terms of revenue) ever: SharePoint.
The Web has been aflutter with Google Chrome discussions since it was released last week, much of it centering on Google's strategy to drive a stake through the heart of Microsoft's Windows business by shifting the operating system to the cloud, rendered in a browser.
Such talk overlooks the fact that Microsoft has already started to move its own Windows business to the cloud, rendered in SharePoint.

Happy anniversary: US Justice Dept prepares suit against Google
September 10, 2008 By Chris Keall (NBR - NZ)
Google shares plunged 5.5 per cent on the NASDAQ today on reports of an unwelcome 10th anniversary present: a pending US government lawsuit.
A Wall Street Journal report says the Justice Department has been deposing witnesses and issuing subpoenas for documents that could support a suit against Google’s recent online advertising alliance with Yahoo (widely seen as a device to thwart Microsoft’s attempted merger with Yahoo).

Google eyes the enterprise market
September 3, 2008 By Martin Veitch (NetworkWorld/CIO)
For the best part of the last 20 years, pundits have reported on challengers to Microsoft Office and Exchange, the hugely powerful and lucrative franchises that sit alongside Windows in the underpinnings of the world's biggest software company. Most have failed to survive, never mind prosper, but the latest web-based challenger from Google seems to have some legs.

Chrome: Google's anti-browser
September 3, 2008 By Glyn Moody (ComputerWorld UK)
The most surprising thing about Google's new Chrome browser is that it's taken so long for it to appear. After all, the browser has been central to practically everything that Google does, so it would be foolish to allow others to control it.
